Country X was actually an independent island near the North African Plate, but there was a bridge connecting it to the outside world. It could be traveled by car. Of course, it could also be traveled by water.
At the earliest, it could be traced back to the 1960s. A rich man rented this independent African island as his own private territory. There were tens of thousands of black slaves working for him.
After the liberation of the black slaves, the black people on the island united to overthrow the rule of the rich slave owner and formed a temporary country of their own. However, as time went by, a group of other forces were stationed on the island and established their own temporary regime here.
It could be said that Country X was originally a rented land, but because of historical reasons, it formed an independent country. Although the lease fee had not been paid again for more than ten years, the local management department also tacitly acknowledged the existence of this fact.
These were all learned by Yang Ming through Old Buffon's investigation. It could be said that these were already some old things. Nowadays, few people knew these details.
Only people in a position like General Kars could get in touch with some of the secrets in the middle.
However, Old Buffon actually found the local management department in Africa to fund the purchase of the island where Country X was located! For the money that was delivered to the door, the local management department was naturally delighted! This was simply like a pie falling from the sky. Although the land of Country X was nominally under their management, it had been in trust for more than ten years.
Therefore, when someone wanted to buy this piece of land, the local management department showed extreme enthusiasm! However, when they investigated Old Buffon's life, they were somewhat unhappy!
If it were another person who wanted to buy this land, they would naturally be happy to sell it quickly. However, for Old Buffon, it was impossible!
Although the local management department had nominal ownership of this land, it had no right to control it. If it were an ordinary person, after they sold it, they could completely shirk responsibility and let the buyer receive the land himself. As for whether they could get it back, it was not their business.
People were selling you land. What was on the land? How could they be responsible for helping you get rid of it? However, Old Buffon was not an ordinary person. Africa and Europe were very close. With a little inquiry, they could know the identity of Old Buffon. This person was not someone who could be provoked casually.
Therefore, the local management department was a bit embarrassed. If they did not sell it, they would lose an unexpected fortune in vain. If they sold it, they were afraid that Old Buffon would find trouble with them.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, the local management department felt that it was still necessary to explain the situation to Old Buffon. After all, they really couldn't afford to provoke someone like Old Buffon.
The person in charge of this matter was Jason, a white official. When Old Buffon came over, they still gave him a warm reception.
Because it was Yang Ming's matter, Old Buffon didn't want others to do it. It would seem that he was not sincere enough. Therefore, he came over personally to discuss this matter.
"Hello, Patriarch Buffon. If you want to buy land here, we will naturally welcome you …" Jason didn't dare to offend Old Buffon, so his tone was polite. "However, there are still many isolated islands nearby. Although they are not as big as Country X, they are still okay. Do you want to choose another island?" Old Buffon nodded in agreement with Jason.
Old Buffon immediately waved his hand, "No, no! I want the land of Country X. Why? You don't want to sell it? "
"It's not that we don't want to sell it … but Mr. Buffon, you may not understand … The land of Country X, although nominally belongs to us, it has actually been in custody for more than ten years. Therefore, even if we sign an agreement, we can't guarantee that you can successfully take back the land of Country X …" Jason explained with difficulty.
"Hehe, so that's the case!" Regarding the current situation of Country X, Old Buffon had already received news from Yang Ming. Otherwise, why would he buy the land of Country X? Wasn't it because he had nothing to do? Old Buffon's family did not lack real estate. There was no need to go so far to buy a war-torn island. Wasn't that crazy?!
"Yes, Patriarch Buffon. Because of this, I can't lie to you, so I have to tell you the situation." Jason said, "I advise you to buy another island."
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this. I naturally have my purpose for buying this place. You can just tell me the price!" Old Buffon shook his head and smiled.
"This …" Jason was really a bit confused. He didn't know what Old Buffon meant. Why would he buy in this situation?
However, since Old Buffon insisted, and the situation was explained, then Jason had no choice. He reported a very cheap price symbolically. Anyway, this land did not belong to them anymore. Now, this money was free anyway. No matter how much it was earned, it was still earned.
Therefore, Old Buffon got the permanent right to use the land of Country X at a very low price. At this point, Country X had a legal status internationally. Although it could not completely exist as a country, it could exist as a private territory.
Old Buffon had already given the procedures to Li Qiang. This time, Yang Ming came to Country X, and he also brought these procedures with him.
The car slowly drove into the territory of Country X. At the border, the heavily guarded soldiers were checking the passing vehicles one by one. However, when they arrived at Yang Ming's car, they saw Li Qiang driving. Suddenly, all the soldiers showed a respectful expression and watched Li Qiang's car go away.
This small detail, although it was nothing, also touched the hearts of Zhang Jingyao and Huang Xiaofei! They didn't know that these soldiers knew Li Qiang. They felt that the respect of these soldiers came from the pass in front of the car.
Although the passing vehicles had special passes, the style was different from that of Li Qiang's car. Other cars had passed through their own checks. Only Li Qiang's car passed smoothly.
This proved that Li Qiang was definitely not an ordinary person in Country X. He was also a popular figure. Could he get a pass that was more powerful than those special passes? Was he an ordinary person?
However, they still did not think that General Kars could meet Yang Ming and Li Qiang in person.

Seeing that all the vehicles in Country X had special passes, Li Tianjia and Li Zhicheng knew that this thing was not bad * ss. Moreover, when they entered Country X, Li Zhicheng and Li Tianjia were also examined and questioned in detail. When they learned that they were here to invest in gold mines, they were released.
"Tianyu, this pass seems to be on every car?" Li Tianjia frowned quietly.
"Ugh …" Li Tianyu was blushed when Li Tianjia said this. Although Li Tianjia's tone was very plain, Li Tianyu felt that he was targeting him. He wanted to embarrass himself in front of his father. He suddenly had some resentment in his heart. "Only people who do business here can do it. Ordinary people can't do it!"
"Oh …" Li Tianjia nodded.
Li Zhicheng also knew that his two sons, although they could still unite on the surface, were always fighting openly and secretly in small matters. These were all insignificant things, but they used it as a joke.
"Well, let's not talk about this. Tianyu, how is the iron ore mine?" asked Li Zhicheng.
"I haven't seen the highest person in charge of the military here. The current situation is still very difficult to say. I think we should visit General Kars first. This is imperative from a private point of view and a commercial point of view." Li Tianyu pretended to be very knowledgeable.
"En, that is indeed the case." Li Zhicheng nodded. "General Kars, this time we must visit."
Li Zhicheng was still very much in favor of Li Tianyu's point of view and immediately agreed.
"Tianyu, how big is the hope of our bid this time?" Li Tianjia also put aside his jealousy of his younger brother and talked about business.
Previously, Li Tianjia did not put Li Tianyu's African business in his eyes. Although there were still benefits from a small iron ore mine, it was far worse than the family's business in Singapore after all.
However, this time, the Li Family might get a gold mine or even a diamond mine. The benefits were far more than the family's fundamental business. In this way, his father's importance to the African business was definitely greater than the domestic business. Therefore, Li Tianjia also began to be jealous of Li Tianyu.
Originally, he could sit firmly in the position of the Li Family's heir, but at this moment, his position was shaken.
"The official public document states that this time, there will be a fair and just competition, but this thing, I think it is just superficial. Whoever has connections can get the mineral." Li Tianyu was very knowledgeable in his analysis. At this moment, he had to establish his own authority and image in front of his father.
"En, this is true." Li Zhicheng also agreed with Li Tianyu's words. "We are visiting General Kars to ask about the inside story of this bid. So, I will call General Kars first and contact him. If possible, we will visit him in a while! "
Li Tianjia and Li Tianyu nodded quickly. Li Zhicheng picked up the phone and dialed the phone number of General Kars' office. After the phone was connected, the voice of General Kars' secretary came over, "Hello, this is the Kars government office."
"Hello, I am Li Zhicheng of the Li Family in Singapore. Please transfer to General Kars." Li Zhicheng said quickly and respectfully.
"General Kars went to visit a very important guest. He is not here now. What can I do for you?" said the secretary.
